Marching Colonels is a great way to relieve the stress of classes and just play your heart out. It gives a new perspective of what you as a person and what a whole bunch of people can do with a like mind, and that’s something you’ll need to learn in life. It doesn’t matter if you’re perfect or even know anything about marching beforehand! Just play with spirit and forget the world for just a couple hours! That’s worth more than anything in the world when in college!
